how do I make a comment in an item?

jimsflies · February 24th, 2010, 08:33 PM

When I enter my comment in this item, it says "You did not fill in all the required fields." Am I missing something?

Also a second question....is it possible to set up a category to only allow auctions?

Chuck S · February 24th, 2010, 09:32 PM

what version of the software are you using?

no you cant only allow auctions unless you do some type of code modification

jimsflies · February 24th, 2010, 09:44 PM

I guess the comment posting problem is because I wasn't able to post a comment to my own listing? I was able to post with another account, but still not be able to respond with the listing account (which is admin).

Are the code edits something that is already available, just needs to be coded? And it could be set per category?

Not sure what version I have...it's the one I downloaded about a month ago.

Another question...why are the thumbnails not showing the same way I linked above on this listing: Message - CaptiveReefs.com Classifieds

Jim my suggestion is to download the stable gold code if you where using a beta

You prevent guests from viewing content on your site so I see nothing when you post links.

jimsflies · February 25th, 2010, 07:35 AM

That's strange...when I am not logged in (guest) I am able to view pictures, etc. I notice this site is fetching the title of the page I link to. Could it be something with that?

I don't think I have a beta...where would the version be? My board is running 3.8.4 right now.

Here is the URL to the classifieds again

specifically this one

I'm using Classifieds 3.21. Is that the latest?

Can you re-verify that you can't see the site/content?

Chuck S · February 25th, 2010, 08:55 AM

You do not have permission for this action!

Thats what I see

Our latest is 4.0

jimsflies · February 25th, 2010, 10:01 AM

Is that for vb4 or will it work with vB 3.8.4?
Any idea why I see the classifieds when I'm not logged in and you can't?

Chuck S · February 25th, 2010, 10:35 AM

You would have to be logged in. I have viewed your site in 5 browsers and I get the same message in all.

Classifieds 4 will work with vb4 or vb3 fine.

jimsflies · February 25th, 2010, 11:05 AM

Where then, would be the setting to allow guests to view?

Chuck S · February 25th, 2010, 11:10 AM

You set in edit categories that guests can view the categories

Main Index - CaptiveReefs.com Classifieds

Looking at your site guests are prevented from viewing anything

jimsflies · February 25th, 2010, 11:58 AM

Ok...try now, changed all categories.

I assume when you say "your site" you mean just the classified ads part of the site?

Chuck S · February 25th, 2010, 12:19 PM

I can see things now yes.

You can post a test user account for me to try and comment if you like or upgrade to 4.0

jimsflies · February 25th, 2010, 12:32 PM

I may upgrade. I downloaded the new version. I'm trying to figure out the instructions about cookie settings being set to ".domainname". I don't think my vb is set to that either. Should I change the settings to that in vbadmin-->options?

I was able to post a question as a user as a test account, however was not able to respond as my admin account. Any thoughts on why that is?

Chuck S · February 25th, 2010, 12:55 PM

Your vb and classifieds should be set to .captivereefs.com sure.

I can comment on an ad on my site running 4.0 if you continue to have issues you can send us site info through the contact us link.

jimsflies · February 27th, 2010, 01:02 PM

I am working on the upgrade and when I open the new config-inc.php I don't see where the cookie domain variable is in that file? I downloaded the 4.0 package.

Chuck S · February 27th, 2010, 01:21 PM

The cookie settings are in admin cookie settings.

jimsflies · February 27th, 2010, 02:39 PM

I guess that was already set that way.

OK so I upgraded and I still can't seem to leave a comment on an ad when logged in as admin. Is there a setting I missed somewhere? I get this message:
"You did not fill in all the required fields."
